About Avila

Avila Retreat Center exists to provide a relished experience, centuries old, of withdrawing to a quiet place to gain new insights into life and living. Retreats and programs for personal and group enrichment are provided to deepen your awareness of God through scripture, prayer, reflection, and spiritual companionship.

We welcome and respect all persons and groups of goodwill, differing backgrounds and religious traditions who seek peace, joy, and healing.

Discover Avila for yourself! Avila offers a unique retreat environment for groups, couples and individuals seeking a peaceful and reflective setting. The kind of retreat you are searching for depends on your own personal journey through life. At times we feel a need for solitude and the chance to be alone. At other times, discussion and reflection with a group would be more suitable. Sometimes a day or a weekend is all the time needed for retreating. Again, others may need a week or more!

Bring your group to Avila Retreat Center! Looking for a quiet setting for parish meetings, workshops, business seminars or renewal programs? You will find the reflective environment of a retreat center is most suitable for adult education and organizational development work. Convenient and productive – midweek dates and evening programs are available.
